Christmas countdown at Polebrook
Fri 13 Dec 2019What a busy week it has been for all our children and staff!
Monday, our choir entertained the residents at Polebrook Nursing home and would like to say a huge big thank you to every member for giving up your free time to sing.
I am sure you will all agree that the KS2 carol service on Thursday night was a wonderful evening to remember. The children led the service with readings and songs and certainly entertained us with their rendition of ‘Sparkle and Shine’ all wearing sunglasses!
Today, was Christmas Jumper day raising money for Save the Children, and every child wore their jumper with pride and I am always amazed how many different creations there are.
Mid-morning, visitors from the village community and parents returned to school for a coffee and mince pie and entertainment from all our children, even a sneaky preview performance from our youngest members of the school.
Well done to all our children, you have all been amazing and keep it going for another week.

Blue class are Romans for the day
Tue 05 Nov 2019What a great day for Blue Class and all the children and Mrs Bryant got into character and dressed for the occasion.
In morning the children built Roman aqueducts and tested with water! Then they created edible Roman roads.
In the afternoon the class created mosaics and then all became archaeologists and studied the Roman artefacts boxes Mrs Bryant collected from Oundle museum.
I am sure they will all had plenty to talk about later and hopefully full of knowledge of life as a Roman.

Thorpe Hall Hospice Donations
Fri 25 Oct 2019Today Miss McBlain, Mrs Orlebar and two Year 6 children visit the Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice in Peterborough to present our donations.
All families and staff donated money for the hospice as part of our Harvest Festival. Children created 'happy envelopes' which were sent home and in total we raised over £340! For such a small school it was an incredible amount to raise.
The staff at the hospice were overwhelmed with our donation and visit. It was incredibly emotional to see just how important our donations are and to see how grateful they were. The happy envelopes certainly fulfilled their job and put smiles on both staff and residents.
Thank you so much to all families and staff for the donations, the money went to an amazing cause within our community.

KS2 Athletics Success
Fri 11 Oct 2019Polebrook and Glapthorn attended an RLT athletics event at Corby Athletics Track with 5 other RLT schools where all children in Key Stage 2 were able to spend the day taking part in all kinds of athletic activities.
Each child was able to have a go at all activities which included running, long jump, obstacle courses and throwing.
It was lovely to see Glapthorn and Polebrook cheering each other and being incredibly supportive of one another as well as cheering the other RLT schools.
I am proud to say the children of Polebrook did very well in each event winning lots of 1st, 2nd and 3rd places! Congratulations to these children and all of our children who tried so very hard and gave it their best in each event.
Some of the children said yesterday was one of the best days of their lives and it was evident through the participation and fun the children had all day. It was a great opportunity to bond with our trust schools and we look forward to the next one!

Schools from all over the county performed original pieces from musical theatre, dance and instrumental acts and ending with all the children coming together for a mass finale.
The event was truly spectacular. Over 600 children performed last night and another 600 this evening.
Our children were in awe watching the performances and were so proud to be part of such an incredible event.
The small group who represented Polebrook were fabulous ambassadors of our school. Their performance was flawless and they truly excelled. Other schools commented on the impact of their performance and were astonished of how well they told the story of being bullied.
A huge thank you to Emma for choreographing an incredible dance piece and to our parents for supporting such a wonderful opportunity for our children. Events like this are so inspiring and so uplifting for the children.
